[1][2][3][4][5][6] The championship featured what were reportedly two of the best camogie matches in the history of the game in its 12-a-side phase, the final and the semi-final between Antrim and Dublin.
The game was characterised by spates of clever play on both side, with Dublin on the whole the more finished in accurate ground and overhead stickwork.

Mitchel Cogley wrote in the Irish Independent The youngest player on the field made probably the most significant contribution to Antrim’s victory.
There was nothing between two teams in fleetness of foot, skilful stickwork and length of striking, but Antrim’s defence was the sounder under heavy pressure and the positional play of the forwards was better than that of the Cork girls.
